How to Call Italy from the U.S.

Posted on February 8, 2012

Want to make a call to Italy without confusing calling cards or restrictive plans? Vonage can help.

Your calls to Italy are now easier than ever. Call Milan, Florence, Rome or any other city in Italy with the Vonage World® plan. Vonage provides you with low-cost, reliable home phone service with unlimited1 calling to landlines in Italy. So why limit yourself when it comes to speaking with family and friends? Now you can call Italy from the U.S.A., anytime you want!

When you add Vonage Extensions™ to Vonage World®, you can extend your home calling plan to any phone, including mobiles, at no extra charge. So you can call Italy from both your home and mobile phones on the same plan. You’ll also be able to make unlimited1 calls to landlines in more than 60 countries and mobile phones in more than 10 countries and territories. Now you can call Italy from the U.S. whenever and however you want.

To call Italy from the U.S., just follow these simple dialing directions:

First dial 011, the U.S. exit code.

Then dial 39, the country code for Italy.

Next dial the area code (2–4 digits).

Finally dial the phone number (5–8 digits).

Have family in Italy who often call the U.S.?

Here’s an idea: Why not give Vonage World® to your friends or family in Italy? It’s easy… just sign up for a Vonage World® account for them and ship them the Vonage Box™*. That way they can make unlimited1 calls to landlines and mobiles in the U.S. Imagine your brother in Italy having the same U.S. area code as you. You and anyone in the U.S. can reach him on a U.S. number, rather than paying international rates to call Italy. And if you both have Vonage, calls between you are included at no additional charge! Vonage works anywhere there’s a high-speed Internet connection.
